AAP To Offer Free JEE, NEET Coaching Through Virtual School In Delhi

Students of Delhi Model Virtual School (DMVS) will get free Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) coaching from its upcoming session, Delhi Education Minister Atishi said on Sunday.

Holding a review meeting with the officials of the flagship project, the Delhi minister provided several suggestions and directed the officials to prepare a five-year action plan for the virtual school. 

"Delhi's education model is being applauded across the world and this is the reason why children across the country are willing to become part of it. Our government's DMVS is working to connect them to us," Atishi said.  She said the government's aim is to make quality education more accessible and inclusive so that students from all states can become a part of it.

"DMVS has all the advantages of a physical institution but is virtual and is affiliated with DBSE. Today, students from 13 states and Union Territories, including Delhi, are studying here, and this year our focus is to expand its reach. Our goal is to ensure that quality education is easily available to everyone, regardless of their location," she said. 

In the upcoming academic session of the DMVS, students will have access to free IIT-JEE and NEET coaching virtually. The virtual school will also offer students job-oriented courses like coding, digital media and design, finance and accounting, along with short-term and advanced courses designed by industry experts. 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched the "country's first virtual school" on August 31, 2022 in which students from across India will be eligible for admission in classes 9 to 12.

However, the chief minister's claim was refuted by the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), saying the first virtual school had already been launched in the country by the Centre in 2021.

"Momentum Coming Back": China On Ties With India Amid Border Tensions

China has said its "macro bilateral ties" with India is coming back on track, amid tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

"China and India are working quite well together on some of the multi-national occasions," Zha Liyou, China's Consul-General, told a gathering in Kolkata while welcoming the Minister Counsellor of the Chinese embassy in India.

"Whether its SCO or G20 conferences, and also the President and the Prime Minister met on the sidelines of the Bali Summit. I believe they had a wonderful conversation. We are very happy to see the momentum coming back," Zha said, referring to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Group of 20.

The two nations continue to maintain communication via diplomatic and military channels, promoting the transition of the border situation to "normalised management and control".

"The current border situation is overall stable," Zha said, according to news agency PTI.

"Since last year, China-India relations have caught positive momentum. President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi commonly attended three summit meetings and exchange pleasantries on the sidelines of the G20 Bali Summit," Zha said.

"The two foreign ministers met thrice in 2022. Earlier this month, China's new Foreign Minister Qin Gang, during his visit to India to attend the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, held a bilateral meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and had an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation," he said.

Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed along the LAC in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh on December 9, resulting in minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides. The clash near Yangtse in the sensitive sector took place amid the border stand-off between the two sides in eastern Ladakh.

Zha said India and China could draw strength from their ancient civilisations, and share oriental wisdom with the world, so as to jointly maintain the stability of the international order.

"In a world intertwined with changes and chaos, China and India could speak out loud for more institutional rights of developing countries. The two countries working together will bear on the future of Asia and beyond," he added.

"Slap In The Face": Ukraine On Russia's Security Council Presidency

Russia's presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of April is "a slap in the face to the international community", Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Saturday.

"I urge the current UNSC members to thwart any Russian attempts to abuse its presidency," Dmytro Kuleba said at the start of Russia's tenure of the body's rotating presidency.

In a statement on Twitter, Dmytro Kuleba called Russia "an outlaw on the UNSC".

Later this month, Moscow has said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is planning to chair a UN Security Council meeting on "effective multilateralism".

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has also said that Sergei Lavrov will lead a debate on the Middle East on April 25.

The United States has criticised Russia's role and its permanent seat on the Security Council.

"A country that flagrantly violates the UN Charter and invades its neighbour has no place on the UN Security Council," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said earlier.

"Unfortunately Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council and no feasible international legal pathway exists to change that reality," she added, calling the presidency "a largely ceremonial position."

Dmytro Kuleba had earlier called Russia's Security Council presidency "a bad joke".

The presidency rotates every month between the 15 member states, and Moscow last chaired the council in February 2022.

Russia would hold little influence on decisions but would be in charge of the agenda.

Trials Should Be Taken Up, Concluded Speedily: Supreme Court

Jails are overcrowded and their living conditions appalling and the courts should ensure that trials, especially in cases where special laws enact stringent provisions, are taken up and concluded speedily, the Supreme Court has said.

The top court said if the trials are not concluded in time, the injustice wrecked on the individual is immeasurable.

A bench of Justices S Ravindra Bhat and Dipankar Datta made the observation while extending the bail of a man accused under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act on bail.

"Incarceration has further deleterious effects, where the accused belongs to the weakest economic strata: immediate loss of livelihood, and in several cases, scattering of families as well as loss of family bonds and alienation from society.

"The courts, therefore, have to be sensitive to these aspects, and ensure that trials, especially in cases where special laws enact stringent provisions, are taken up and concluded speedily," the bench said.

The court said laws which impose stringent conditions for grant of bail, may be necessary in public interest; yet, if trials are not concluded in time, the injustice wrecked on the individual is immeasurable.

"Jails are overcrowded and their living conditions, more often than not, appalling. According to the Union Home Ministry's response to Parliament, the National Crime Records Bureau had recorded that as on December 31, 2021, over 5,54,034 prisoners were lodged in jails against a total capacity of 4,25,069 lakhs in the country. Of these 122,852 were convicts; the rest 4,27,165 were undertrials," the bench said.

The top court, while ordering release of the man on bail, said he has been in custody for over seven years and four months.

Rihanna's Driver's Audi Worth Over Rs 30 Lakh Stolen From Her US Home

The home of Rihanna, a Barbadian singer and actress, has been in the news again for another wrong reason. A car belonging to the driver of the famous singer has been stolen from her Beverly Hills mansion.

The law enforcement officers said that the driver left the car engine running while leaving it outside the house and went inside to get something, when he returned, the vehicle had been stolen. The car was a 2012 Audi sedan that was worth around Rs 30,38,442 ($37,000).

According to a TMZ report, the driver believes someone just jumped in and took off with it immediately when he went inside the house. It's unclear if Rihanna was home at the time of the incident.

This was the second time in a week that Rihanna's Beverly Hills home became the focus of a significant police operation. A few days ago, an unidentified man who had travelled from South Carolina to Los Angeles was arrested for trespassing on her property around 12.30pm. He travelled the long distance just to propose to the R&B star before his plans were squashed by her security staff.

The cops were called by the on-site security personnel. The man was taken from the property in handcuffs. He was taken into custody by law enforcement for a while before they released him because he had not broken any laws. He was warned not to commit the offence again. It's unclear whether Rihanna, her boyfriend A$AP Rocky, or their one-year-old son were at home at the time of the incident.

Not Against Siddaramaiah. BS Yediyurappa Says Son Will Contest From...

BY Vijayendra, the son of former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa, will contest from the same seat where his father had won seven times since 1983 and not from the seat where state Congress chief Siddaramaiah will contest.

Announcing this today, Mr Yediyurappa said his son won't fight the assembly election from Varuna against the Congress chief, but from Shikaripura.

"There is no question of Vijayendra contesting from Varuna for whatsoever reason," Mr Yediyurappa told reporters, adding his son will contest from "my constituency" in Shivamogga district.

Mr Yediyurappa on Thursday indicated his son may contest against Siddaramaiah, leading to speculation of a huge battle on the constituency currently held by the Congress leader's son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah.

The former Chief Minister recently announced he would no longer contest elections, a decision that paved the way for his son's attempt at getting elected.

Mr Vijayendra has said he will respect the party high command's decision on the BJP's Karnataka BJP battle plan. However, his father, while agreeing with the decision to stick with the high command's plan, said he will tell the central BJP leadership about Mr Vijayendra's choice of Shikaripura to contest from.

"His statement (on the party leadership's decision) is correct, but I am saying that he will contest from Shikaripura. I will convey this to the party high command and Vijayendra. There is no question of him contesting from Varuna in Mysuru." said Mr Yediyurappa.

Before entering politics, Mr Vijayendra had a short stint as a lawyer. He has served as the general secretary of the BJP's youth wing, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha.

The Karnataka assembly election will be held on May 10. Votes will be counted on May 13.
